Polymath Park Daily Tour

Tour Wright’s Duncan House, along with two other houses designed by Wright apprentice Peter Berndtson, located at Polymath Park. Your experience begins with an exploration of the Duncan House. Examine its interior spaces and learn how the Duncan House was saved from demolition and relocated over 600 miles away from Illinois to its new site, including its piece-by-piece reconstruction by the current owners. Next, a shuttle will transport you to the Balter and Blum Houses designed by Peter Berndtson.

Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of organic architecture - uniting design with nature - formed the basis for over 1,100 designs during his career and extended on to his apprentices. Peter Berndtson, who studied with Wright at his Taliesin fellowship from 1938 to 1946, carried on those same principles in his houses for two Pennsylvania clients, the Balters and the Blums, and set them within an idyllic forest setting at Polymath Park in southwest Pennsylvania.
